Bicycle Rickshaw in Bangladesh [01:09]
Father Tom invited Shawn and me to the American club here in Bangladesh... The American club is basicly a country club. But because it's in Bangladesh it's like an oasis...

Bullet proof glass at the entry checkpoint... metal detectors... it has more security than the airport here in Dhaka... and that is not a joke...

The pictures and stories that emerged from Bangladesh at that time portrayed an entire nation on its knees, but this was only a half-truth for within hours of the storm hitting, the majority of the country was back on its feet and operational. ADVERTISEMENT This wasn't the first time that Bangladesh had been dismissed as a no-hope nation, and it probably won't be the last. But no matter what the opinion of the wider world is, this dynamic country proudly considers itself to be an active participant in an increasingly global community. In defiance of its ...
